Patient's question:
Hello, after taking emergency contraception, I experienced itching and urgency/dysuria, but it improved after taking metronidazole. However, after having sex with my boyfriend, the itching returned, along with occasional urgency/dysuria. My boyfriend is also itchy, and there is white discharge on his glans. What could be the cause? What medication should we take?Doctor's answer:
Hello, frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, and itching in the lower body may be related to vaginitis, or it could also be related to a urinary tract infection. Abnormal discharge from the glans may also be a sign of balanitis. It is recommended that both of you undergo relevant examinations and targeted treatment. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, maintain good personal hygiene, and do not frequently use birth control pills.
